The Sunnyside Hotel
 

Located on the Southwest corner of Jackson Avenue and 38th Street. Early accounts from the "Newton Register" listed this roadhouse style hotel as the site of Sunday afternoon social and wedding parties, in 1850 the railroad built a station across from the Hotel. This is where the community name came from.  The Pennsylvania Railroad later purchased this site along with all the surrounding farms and in 1907 developed the railroad yards; in 1910 the community of Sunnyside was evicted and moved to the north, our present location. (Look to the beginning of this web site called "Brief History of Sunnyside" for more information on our community.) (circa 1869)
